renter scooter trials starting today in 5 london boroughs.

three different operators so three different apps to register with.

flat fee for rental and then charged by the minute, although it looks like some of the firms will only charge while the scooters are moving to try and discourage RLJing

be interesting to see if enforcement gets stepped up on private scooters and pavement usage now that these trials have gone live.

Spoiler: it won't. We've had these sort of trials running in Portsmouth for a couple of months now. It's made absolutely fuck all difference.

yeah, it's not going to magically increase police budgets etc.
didn't know if the local councils would be using parking enforcement officers to issue fines? are they even legally able to do this?

what's your impression of the portsmouth trial scheme? have you had a go on one?
